"The women's world transfer record was broken four times in 2025 -- three times by clubs in the WSL (Naomi Girma from San Diego Wave to Chelsea; Olivia Smith from Liverpool to Arsenal; Grace Geyoro from PSG to London City Lionesses) -- and several big deals went down to the wire on deadline day. Will January follow the same pattern?"
"Tottenham have been the WSL's surprise package this season and their decision to break their transfer record for Gaupset is reflective of their ambition going forward. The 20-year-old has already worked under head coach Martin Ho at Brann and will add plenty of skill and ingenuity to Spurs' midfield, having registered 15 goals and 14 assists in 26 appearances in Norway last term. -- BL"
Four world transfer records fell in 2025, with three set by WSL clubs through moves for Naomi Girma, Olivia Smith, and Grace Geyoro. Several major deals were finalized on deadline day, and transfers in January continued the high-fee trend. Tottenham paid €430,000 for Signe Gaupset, breaking their club transfer record; Gaupset scored 15 goals and provided 14 assists in 26 appearances in Norway. Bayern confirmed Lea Schüller's departure to Manchester United for an undisclosed fee; Schüller scored 54 goals and is expected to bolster United's forward options as they chase Champions League qualification.
